With this purchase, you will receive a PowerPoint discussion guide for your Arabian Nights unit (91 slides in all). Students will practice cause and effect, summarizing, characterization, imagery, compare/contrast, sequence, setting, theme, inference, prediction and more! The best part about the discussion guide is there is NO PRINTING involved. Save your copier allowance by simply displaying this on the screen and allowing students to take their own notes!

This PowerPoint has everything you need to teach the unit—NO PREP and no need to research for outside material. Each lesson will take around 40 minutes to complete, thus you receive just under 3 weeks of lesson plans!! My students used their interactive notebooks to take notes and record answers, but you can also do this on loose paper or create booklets for students if you are not a notebook user. This study is perfect for whole group OR small group instruction.

By following this study, students practice a variety of reading skills including making predictions, defining vocabulary, quoting/finding evidence, characterization, theme, cause and effect, making connections, summarizing, imagery, compare/contrast, inference, and sequencing. This guide will introduce each concept to your students-no need to have practiced them already.

How to use this product:
1. Display the PowerPoint on your classroom screen.
2. Follow along with the journal and discussion prompts.
3. Students use their own interactive notebooks or loose leaf paper to record answers.
4. NO PRINTING NEEDED!!
